HID Installed w/couple pics

Just got my HID kit installed yesterday, here are a couple pics not very good quality, but any questions feel free to ask because I know some was thinkin bout getting kits for their cars. I get some more pics up later...And no it doesn't blind people I have it aimed down and I know this because I had a friend drive my car while I was in another car and we passed eachother...so please don't come here to bash my thread with rude opinions because they don't make projector lens yet that I know of.

How long did the install take, and where did you get your HID's?
I love they way they look, gives the HHR the night time edge

It was pretty easy, looked off a thread that had pictures from somone who had previously done it. This the second set I bought off ebay, I bought from the same guy both times and never had any problems...here is the link if anyone wants to kno. The kit I bought was 12K I like the purple look over the blue, my previous kit was 14K but it was way to purple.

Thats the kit that I bought, but if anyone is looking into buyin kits maybe from other sellers, the light output is going to be totally differnt because the ballast is of a differnt company, so if you order 12K from a different seller it might look way different.

you can tell aHUGE difference in the light output IN THE DAY between stock and the HID....not bad, and i do think the stock lights are a little brighter then other cars

Yea I found that I could see pretty good in the night time with my stock bulbs compared to my previous vehicles. But after I got my HID's I could see anything and everything and its not blinding to oncomin traffic. I be ready tho when projector lens come out for the HHR hopefully
